The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 4DR SALOON 2.4 V6 170 QUATTRO SE is a sizeable, four-door executive saloon: a comfortable alternative to a family hatchback, aimed at buyers wanting extra space and a premium feel. Its V6 engine and four-wheel drive make this SE version well suited to relaxed, confident journeys in changeable weather. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 13 look-ups across just two distinct VINs, so its figures are useful clues rather than a broad market survey. In those checks, average recorded mileage was 143,000, annual mileage 5,000, and the average private-sale valuation £500. The cars had an average of 8.2 previous keepers, a point worth weighing alongside each car’s age and condition. Best for commuters or families, it offers longer journeys, though its V6 and age are less suited to tight budgets. Against BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class rivals, it is known for comfort and Quattro grip; check history and condition.
